No. Both hydrogen atoms "pull" on the electrons with equal force, so the charge is the same at both ends.

Polar covalent- due to the difference in electronegativity between H and Br.


Why is it necessary for there to be a polar covalent bond in order for a hydrogen bond to occur?

A hydrogen bond occurs when a hydrogen atom from one molecule is attracted to an atom (usually oxygen) of another molecule. There is a small positive charge on a hydrogen atoms in many covalent bonds due to H's very low electronegativity. This results from a polar covalent bond. Likewise, there is usually a small negative charge on an oxygen atom in a covalent bond due to O's relatively large electronegativity. This is also the result of a polar covalent bond. The +/- attraction that results from these polar bonds is what a hydrogen bond actually is. In the absence of a polar covalent bond, there will be no residual charge left on either the hydrogen or the oxygen and therefore no hydrogen bonding will occur!
